Rising. Modern libraries are not only limited to communication between people and books but also provide communication between people. In this library, functional facilities are a very attractive point. As floors rise, the focus shifts from living to self-improvement. In addition, my plaza design is a combination of seating platform and stairs. In this library, people can also sit on the stairs to read books and enjoy the views.
So for this project, I am inspired by a letter Z, and I want this building is full of lighting so there will be a lot of glass on this building. Also, I am really attracted by BEINECKE RARE BOOK LIBRARY, in the Beinecke library it has a really huge stack tower with all the collect also the interior garden is really impressing me. So my book stack will be a large book stack with all the books from the first floor to the third floor.

Bubble Diagram and simple plan
On each bubble diagram, I also show how the circulation works. The first floor for the bubble diagram it’s having the main entrance with the parking spot and the first floor is included with refreshment bar, auditorium open seats, bookshelves, public computer access, and staff office also the circulation desk. And the second floor is connected with the Clifton plaza so it has an individual small auditorium, and main reading room, meeting room. The third floor is all the maker space such as practice room, movement, fitness.
Building Material Idea
For my building material, I really attracted the translucent alabaster for the not glass part, and for the glass part, I want to use really large and clean glass.
Building Form
From the Building form, the first floor with a rectangle glass is actually the entrance from the front parking spot. I did add a large glass on the top roof because I want using the natural light for the dancing room.
So for this project, I was inspired by the rice field. Thus, I was mainly focused on curved to make different levels also those levels areas stairs and sitting activity spots. Also, I want to make ADA connect all the stairs then ADA wouldn’t be stuck.
